are you saying that -- or would you say that rob nabors, gene sperling, jack lew, whoever replaces jack lew -- none of these people will now go to the hill to talk debt ceiling? are you saying that biden will not meet with mcconnell to talk debt ceiling? are you saying that the president will not invite leaders from both chambers of congress to the white house to talk debt ceiling? >> yes. we will not negotiate over raising the debt ceiling. as the president said, he has demonstrated repeatedly that he is willing to compromise when it comes to moving forward with deficit reduction. we obviously because of the sequester and the cr and other issues have economic, budgetary, and fiscal challenges that we need to confront, and that requires discussion and negotiation with congress. but he will not negotiate over the fundamental responsibility that only congress has to raise the debt ceiling. and if that is a responsibility that is just too onerous for them to bear, they should pass it off to the president as they did previously. he will not negotiate over raising the debt ceiling. this is n
